6 Seater Porsche

Came across this today in my travels, and it's for sale. One of 20 Porsche factory built Westphalia vans. It has the 3.2 liter engine with 232 hp, porsche brakes and all kind of trick parts, and is badged as a Porsche. In the rear are four cool leather captains chairs that face each other. Very nice looking family Porsche

It will be auctioned off on 25 April at the Oldtimer Galerie in Toffen Switzerlnd if anyone's interested. You can google for details.

Never seen that one before, but I've seen this on the Internet before.

http://personal.inet.fi/surf/porschenet/text/fut_plan/varrera/index.html

[IMG]The Porsche "Varrera" is a minivan and it's already in the prototype phaze. As Porsche continues to try to be more aggressive in other markets, it will continue to produce prototypes like this one and the C-88. Porsche plans on introducing a new model every year through the year 2000. Obviously the "Boxster" is just the beginning. If the Varrera is any indication of things to come we might actually see the first mass produce non-sports car from Porsche very soon.[/IMG]

That would be the Porsche B32. Seems they made nine of them. I found this out on The Samba. More info there:

I would buy a Porsche minivan, but not a Cayenne and not that thing. The peppermobile seats 5. That doesn't solve any problems for my family. Heck, my Camry seats 5. I need something that hauls, seats at least 6, and has room for stuff. The Varerra looks horrid. Too bad they can't build a minivan and call it a sport wagon like Mercedes did.

Hmmm.... B32

B32 production numbers = 11

One was sold to a dealer in Florida. Where is it now?

I have a B32 owners manual if anyone is interested.
